Gaza Couples Marry Amid Rubble, US Approves More Bombs
In Gaza, 54 couples tied the knot in Khan Yunis, their vows echoing amid the rubble – a testament to life, as Al-Monitor puts it. Yet, this 'destruction' didn't materialize from thin air. While Gazans defy erasure, Washington politicians like Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) who received $33,000 from AIPAC in 2022 , continue to push legislation like HR 815 , funneling billions more in military aid to
the very architects of that destruction. Funny how 'hope' always seems to be a local product, while 'destruction' arrives courtesy of international express. The media celebrates resilience. What about accountability? It appears 'two years of conflict' is the diplomatic euphemism for a continuous, US-backed siege and bombardment, punctuated by the occasional defiant wedding. How many more couples
must exchange vows in front of demolished homes before the 'international community' acknowledges the source of the rubble and stops shipping the demolition equipment?
